Homestays in Penang, Malaysia

Layout is nice and comfortable. The kids love it. I like the drawers provided under the beds. Initially I was worried about lack of a cabinet for clothes. Water dispenser is very well used by us. Plenty of power sockets near the bed. Swimming pool had a great view. Chlorine taste was crazy strong though. Kids thought the water was salty. Biggest gripe is that this place is too popular. 4 lifts serving the 30+ levels of patrons are not sufficient. During peak periods like meal, arrival or checkout timings, we waited more than 15mins to get into the lift. Overall very pleasant stay.

設施：房間很大很寬敞，餐桌在單獨的一個房間裏。熱水器和電吹風都可以正常使用，非常方便。裝修也很有風格，應該是有用心設計過 衞生：民宿的話沒有説每天打掃，但是整體來看非常ok的，進入大堂要拖鞋，地面和牆面應該刷過防水漆，感覺挺乾淨的。毛巾的話可能是消毒水的味道吧，味道有點熟悉又陌生。。。 環境：挺好的，就是靠近馬路的房間會比較吵，但是一般晚上1點左右就沒車了。這個民宿的位置很不錯，周圍找吃的坐公交很方便，出門左手走一走就是新世界小吃街，右邊走一走就是潮汕街 Kimberly夜市，有很多吃的還有按摩店，靠近警察局，晚上比較安全 服務：挺好的，在線客服基本有求必應的。有一天我的摺疊雨傘被其他住户誤拿了，跟酒店這邊説了一下很快就找到拿我傘的住户，住户送上了巧克力表達歉意，酒店額外贈送了一份作為聖誕禮物

This hotel is excellent. It's brand new and completely odor-free. The rooms even have water purifiers for direct drinking, and hot water is readily available – a huge plus since most hotels in Malaysia don't provide bottled mineral water, and buying it outside can be quite cumbersome. The room design is superb and very well-suited for Chinese guests, with brand new kitchen utensils too. The hotel's location is also fantastic. Just a short walk away, you can catch a free bus for sightseeing around Penang. It's less than a 10-minute walk from the former site where Sun Yat-sen founded the Tongmenghui, and GAMA Supermarket is also within walking distance, offering great products at reasonable prices. You can take the free bus to many attractions. It's also conveniently located about a 30-minute drive from the airport. Plus, you can easily get to the jetty to catch a ferry to Butterworth and then take a train to Ipoh, or even directly to Kuala Lumpur. All in all, it's incredibly convenient and definitely worth staying. This hotel is a perfect choice for a trip to Penang.

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Penang. The location is very convenient — easy access to both the town area and the airport. The apartment is beautiful, clean, and very well-maintained. The facilities and equipment are complete, making our stay very comfortable. We truly enjoyed staying here and will definitely choose this place again on our next trip to Penang. Highly recommended!

The hotel's location is excellent, convenient and safe, with plenty of dining options nearby. The room is spacious, and the environment is pleasant. The service is also very prompt. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time. Great value for money!

We had a very cozy, aesthetic, clean, homey, and quiet stay at this place. I love the self check-in/out process. The complimentary breakfast is also nice. The main appliances such as the water dispenser, refrigerator, toaster, washing machine, and cooking stove made our stay convenient and comfortable. They also have helpful staff here. 😊 The room was so clean and colorful with toiletries and flipflops. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip.

Although we only needed a one bedroom apartment, we booked a two bedroom as that was all that was available at the time. We were really looking forward to having some space after spending the last couple of weeks in hotel rooms, so we were pleasantly surprised when we were offered a 3 bedroom apartment as none of the two bedrooms were ready. It was fabulous, lots of space and way up on the 32nd floor which makes for quite the view. Great place, the pool was fantastic and it's in a great location with a small beach out front (note this is not walkable at high tide). Thing that could be better is a few more supplies/furnishings. Although we had a balcony, there were no tables or chairs for outside (we did ask but nothing was available) and although we had dishes and cutlery for 6 people there was only one medium sized frying pan and one medium sized saucepan, which made for some creative cooking. But we would go back again especially for a longer stay.

I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel and was especially impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was. From the moment I arrived, the lobby looked spotless and welcoming, which gave a great first impression. The room itself was extremely clean, with fresh linens, neatly arranged furniture, and no signs of dust or dirt. The bathroom was also well taken care of, with all amenities properly stocked and sanitized. Housekeeping clearly does an excellent job, as the cleanliness was consistent throughout my stay. The environment felt comfortable and relaxing, making it easy to unwind after a long day. I also appreciated the attention to detail, as even small areas like hallways and common spaces were kept in great condition. Overall, I had a very positive experience. The high standard of cleanliness made my stay much more enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and hygienic place to stay.

The hotel has two floors with about a dozen rooms. While it's quite basic, it's clean and hygienic, offering good value for money. The shared bathrooms are also convenient. There's no sign or guesthouse name outside the hotel, and its exterior looks almost identical to the surrounding buildings. A useful landmark is the large mural of a blacksmith forging iron on the side of the hotel—don't miss it. The hotel's location is also quite convenient; it's not far from the attractions, as the George Town UNESCO World Heritage site isn't very large. It's a self-check-in hotel, so please note that the main door password and room password are sent via messages on the Ctrip app. I rarely check app messages and was looking in my email, almost missing them. The power outlets in the room don't require an adapter for charging.

Everything was fine except the parking charges, which were completely mishandled. I was clearly told it would be RM9 per day with multiple entries and exits allowed. Yet on the second day, I was charged RM18 on my first exit. Naturally, I assumed it might include an advance charge for the third day.. but then on the third day, I was charged another RM9 anyway. That makes absolutely no sense. I raised this at reception during check-out, and I was told to text a provided number. I’ve sent multiple messages and no response whatsoever. Completely ignored. Yes, it’s “just” RM9 extra. But that’s not the point. If this is how casually you handle even small discrepancies, what does that say about your overall standards? And how many other guests are being overcharged without even realizing it? Frankly, this is unacceptable and extremely disappointing.
